Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Bagel Sandwich

How To Make Bagel Sandwich Air Fryer

Here are the simple steps to make a bagel sandwich in air fryer:

Start by toasting your bagel in the air fryer at 320 degrees F for a 3-minute, air fryer setting. On the stove cook your fried egg. Add some salt and pepper to the seasonings.

Then once the bagel is toasted, add the egg on top of the bagel then place one slice of cheddar cheese, and one slice of deli ham. Wrap the sandwich up in aluminum foil, and place it into the air fryer for 3 minutes at 340 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Recipe Variations For Air Fryer Bagel Sandwich

• Meat: Swap out deli ham for crispy bacon, sausage patties, or even leftover roast beef for a different protein twist.
• Bread: Try using an everything bagel, a whole grain bagel, or a toasted English muffin for varied textures and flavors.
• Vegetables: Add fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or sliced avocado to introduce extra freshness and nutrients.
• Sauces: Experiment with spicy sriracha mayo, tangy mustard, or creamy avocado spread to elevate the flavor profile.
• Seasonings: Incorporate herbs like chives or thyme, or a sprinkle of paprika for additional depth and a burst of flavor.

Air Fryer Bagel Sandwich Recipe Tips

• Toast the Bagel: For a crispier bagel, lightly toast it before assembling the sandwich. This helps it stay crunchy even with the added ingredients.
• Use Parchment Paper: To prevent sticking and make cleanup easier, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat.
• Layer Smartly: Place cheese on the bottom of the bagel so it melts into the bread and keeps the other fillings from getting soggy.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange your sandwiches in a single layer, allowing space for the hot air to circulate and cook everything evenly.
• Check for Doneness: Air fryers can vary in temperature. Keep an eye on your sandwich to avoid overcooking or burning, especially with the cheese and eggs.
• Customize Fillings: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, meats, and vegetables to match your taste preferences and keep things interesting.
